Significant volume of wet melting requires an influx of H2O-rich volatile phase. In hydrate-
breakdown melting, initial melt accumulation is diffusion-controlled and melt accumulates …

The formation and growth of magma bodies are now recognised as involving the
amalgamation of successive, discrete pulses such as sills. Sills would thus represent the …

In order to provide new insights into the relationship between plutonism and volcanism,
numerical simulations involving heat transfer computation were used to estimate the …

The close relationship between crustal magmatism, an expression of heat dissipation, and
tectonics, an expression of stress dissipation, leads to the question of their mutual …

Field observations and geophysical data indicate that many igneous bodies grow by
amalgamation of successive magma pulses that commonly take the shape of horizontal …

Growing evidence supports the notion that plutons are constructed incrementally, commonly
over long periods of time, yet field evidence for the multiple injections that seem to be …

The recent experimental work by Kavanagh et al.[Kavanagh, JL, Menand, T. and Sparks,
RSJ (2006). An experimental investigation of sill formation and propagation in layered …

The formation and differentiation of the continental crust occurs at convergent plate margins
in accretionary and collisional orogenic belts where sufficient heat is generated to achieve …

Granitic and mafic magma pulses were sequentially accreted in the spectacularly exposed
shallow crustal Torres del Paine laccolith, in southern Patagonia. This 12.5 Ma pluton forms …

The use of elastic plate theory to model the emplacement of laccoliths and large mafic sills
has been debated for nearly 40 years. These intrusions typically attain a horizontal width …
